Who's making the next OT?

I think Dc has a title he wants to show everyone. He's been on about that in the Whatsapp, building up the tension.

 

[omgkitty]

Still think we need to bring someone in if we are going to have any chance of competing for the league.

Morata pls.

What?

We were after him in the summer. We went back for him in January.

Yeah I guess that's true.

 

[Indisguise]

Coventry City have just signed Nathan Delfounseo on loan for the rest of the season. So now we have one starting striker.

 

[wedward]

Yeah I guess that's true.

He is only 20. We will definitely be back in the summer.

 

[Carbonox]

I respect Grenier's decision to stay at Lyon until the end of the season at least. Makes sense if he wants to get in to the France squad as the transition in to the Premier League could make or break that opportunity.

The downside is that this pretty much rules out us signing anyone to replace Cabaye. Club's hierarchy needs shooting or the dogs set on them. I hear North Korea are experts on that - where's Dennis Rodman when you need him...

 

[Elchele]

Who's making the next OT? Yes, I know it's early, I'm just wondering.

Let Kenka do it ffs. He asked like 4 threads ago!

 

[Linius]

I think I stole his thread a few OT's a go :lol

 

[omgkitty]

I hope so. Well I'll just sit here and keep watching this Thierry Henry documentary I just found on youtube while crying.

David Ornstein ‏@bbcsport_david 3m
Arsenal not signing Draxler. Was interest but AW unwilling to meet #Schalke asking price. Only #afc deal may be a loan arrival #bbcfootball

Oh well, I hope we go back in the summer.

I'm with Arsene. £37m is fucking ridiculous for an unknown quantity. Schalke can go fuck themselves.

 

[Milchmonster]

Milch knows what's up.

Julian Green looks much more promising than fucking Draxler.

Hahaha

I was aiming for a comparison with Kraft, a decent player but not good enough for Bayern and way too overhyped by Bayern fans. But I just saw that Green's stats are actually quite good :lol

 

[Yurt]

Juve receives money for each player that represents them in the World Cup.

So add Osvaldo now...lol

 

[Slizz]

Kenka is awesome, he should get to make one if he wants to.



dc can be late with his OT.

Lmao, he already is. He wanted a thread, wasn't around to make it when it was needed so someone else did. They he started in here hyping up a thread for Summer 2013.... and well....

 

[Tc91]

He is only 20. We will definitely be back in the summer.

Along with City/Bayern etc. Good luck competing with them for his wages he'll be demanding.

 

[Milchmonster]

I'm with Arsene. £37m is fucking ridiculous for an unknown quantity. Schalke can go fuck themselves.

Well, Schlacke can always go fuck themselves but your post is still hilarious. Oh no, what are they thinking? Requesting a ridiculous fee for a player which they don't want to sell? How can they when Arsenal is asking to buy?

 

[Jarnet87]

Watch other teams go mental.

Yep. Not expecting anything, not even another player out. I suppose we could hear of a surprise bid like at the end of the Summer window.

What ? Why ?


I mean, not that I disagree with us getting more monies, but still.

 

[Elchele]

clubs receive money for "loaning" their players for WC, it has been like that for a while

Bayern getting dem moneyz

 

[Baki]

Please, Schalke is like your club. A selling club. Their entire business is nurturing young players so then they can sell them. Don't let your CL fluke forget that.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Zenit signed Salomon Rondon. OMG OMG OMG OMG, a striker. Thank you based Gazprom! Also would be very unlikely that Rubin sell M'Villa now.

 

[Barzul]

Imo Draxler will become a world beater, but paying 37m for him, not sure. That's what City paid for Aguero. Is Draxler Aguero good? Not right now he isn't. Hope we can bring in a striker on loan, that's what we really need right now.

 

[Slizz]

For reallll man, the club that wants him should set the price tag.

Lmao. World beater but not worth 37m. I don't get it.

 

[Elchele]

And Arsenal isn't? :lol
Most clubs do this, I don't see what's the problem. Unless you are a huge brand like RM, Barcelona, Bayern or Manchester United, or you have an oil king, you have to sell your players at some point.

You get money out of it, and it opens up a position for a new youth player.

 

[Sviatoslav]

I'm kinda surprised Konoplyanka has got a big move before Yarmolenko. Have there been significant bids from Russian teams for him before?

No, plenty of interest but nobody was willing to pay Dnipro's asking price for Kono.

Zenit supposedly bid 25-30 million for Yarmolenko in the summer but it was rejected.

 

[Yurt]

What ? Why ?


I mean, not that I disagree with us getting more monies, but still.

No idea.

But who cares indeed!

 

[Zabojnik]

Imo Draxler will become a wife beater.

 

[luxstellarum]

Lmao. World beater but not worth 37m. I don't get it.

He said will become. Read properly.

 

[omgkitty]

With the amount of people here who are just so quick to call players shit, it makes me wish GAF had existed back in the 90's so I could go back and see such dumb shit such as "Oh man why are Arsenal signing Bergkamp? He's fucking shit!" or "LOL Thierry Henry is terrible"

 

[Sviatoslav]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fergie]

Yep. Not expecting anything, not even another player out. I suppose we could hear of a surprise bid like at the end of the Summer window.

I hope so, the midfield is a huge oversight that needs to be fixed, ain't no Ferguson to work the magic.

But I think Carrick when on form (hopefully he will) and Fellaini given time after his bad start should be enough for a top 4 spot. Helps that our attack has been bolstered further and RVP is on a scoring start.

I'm a bit optimistic now, just hope no further key injuries occur.

 

[Slizz]

He said will become. Read properly.

I read properly. So he'll be cheaper when hes world beater level? Nice.


If Arse gets him for cheaper it'll be because he isn't a world beater....

 

[Pizza con salsiccia]

No idea.

But who cares indeed!

Jupp explained why, and thanks to him, I remember hearing about this a few years ago. Guess I forgot because Bordeaux will get next to nothing, with only one of our players being in Brasil this summer iirc.

@Linius+Meier+Carbonox: Send me some of your glorious red hair. I want to make a wig and rock an Axl this month.

I'll end up looking like Stan Sitwell innit. I suppose I can hide my eyebrows.

 

[Barzul]

Lmao. World beater but not worth 37m. I don't get it.

I dunno I'd just rather focus on what we really need which is a striker and another CM.

 

[Slizz]

I dunno I'd just rather focus on what we really need which is a striker and another CM.

See that I do get. I get that completely, see United mid an backline.

 

[Plasma]

Not getting Draxler now isn't that bad, I'm more annoyed that we don't even look close to bringing in a striker when we've desperately needed somebody ever since we let RVP go.

 

[Barzul]

I read properly. So he'll be cheaper when hes world beater level? Nice.


If Arse gets him for cheaper it'll be because he isn't a world beater....

We could get him cheaper in the summer, more chances for Schalke to replace him, he could get them the CL qualification they really want makes it easier to let him go. A whole host of other factors. There's also the chance Man City or PSG pay his BOC and offer him a gazillion a week in wages.

your hair. MAIL IT

Lol, nobody cares about our signing. Fuck you guys, once Rondon shreds Dortmund then you'll all care!

 

[Linius]

I'll ask the girl who does my hair to bag it for me next time, one haircut will make you a complete wig. I'm blessed with thick hair.

Nope

Hey, great signing comrade. I'm happy for you!

 

[CyclopsRock]

I love how all the Santander players had taped up and everything. Why did they do that?!

 

[Walshy]

Lol, nobody cares about our signing. Fuck you guys, once Rondon shreds Dortmund then you'll all care!

He was pretty good when he was at Malaga, has he done well for Kazan?

 

[Sviatoslav]

Nope

Milch, my condolences on your early CL exit.

 

[Jarnet87]

I'm a bit optimistic now, just hope no further key injuries occur.

On Paper RVP and Rooney being back helps, but we weren't playing well when they were healthy. It's the same story, midfielder overrun, wingers are shit, Rooney racking up stats but not really helping create the link between midfield and attack. We've had games this season where RVP started and he got maybe 1 or 2 chances at a goal if he didnt create it himself.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Hey, great signing comrade. I'm happy for you!

Thanks. It was perfect timing too. Kerzhakov was extra bad today.

He was pretty good when he was at Malaga, has he done well for Kazan?

Yes, Rubin we're so so bad without him when he got hurt earlier this season.

Like I said earlier I think this now means that they won't be selling M'Villa though.

 

[Linius]

I reckon we don't have any Greek footy Gaffers or people with any interest for their league at all? Our boy Hoesen is going to PAOK on loan. Take good care of him Greece.

 

[Barzul]

Nope

You don't know that. Like you really don't. I'm just saying, he could or could not go for his RC.
